2. ~ 2nd and 3rd Houses ~ It is important for you to communicate (3rd house) your values and beliefs (2nd house.) Your capacity for self-sufficiency, your earning potential and your need to express your talents (2nd house) need further expansion through educational experience (3rd house.) Whether they are academic lessons or learned through experience and observation.

The 2nd house is 12 houses from the 3rd house. You may feel obligated karmically to serve your community, neighbors, or siblings. As you learn to communicate and share your resources and assets with those around you. a greater opportunity to use the potentials and fulfill the needs described by your intercepted signs will be found.

3. ~ 3rd and 4th Houses ~ You need to apply the knowledge gained through education and community involvements (3rd house) toward securing your life and establishing solid emotional foundations (4th house.) As you learn through applying knowledge gained from nearby associations (3rd house) to the foundations of your being (4th house), you will find greater opportunity to consciously express the needs of your intercepted signs. You must develop an intellectual approach (3rd house) towards security (4th house) before you can fully express the qualities and fulfill the needs of the intercepted signs and houses in your chart.

The 3rd house is the 12th house from the 4th house. You might feel karmically tied to your family ~ especially one parent.

4. ~ 4th and 5th houses ~ You need to project your feelings (4th house) into your creative projects (5th house) before you are confident with creative potentials. You need to find inner security (4th house) before developing a true sense of creative competency. Once projecting your inner feelings (4th house) to others with love, your intercepted signs will begin to function more creatively.

Some unfulfilled need concerning your relationship to a parent strongly qualifies the approach you take toward the rearing of your own children. The 4th is in a 12th house relationship to the 5th house. There may be a spiritual responsibility involving children which must be confronted and handled before gaining full use of your intercepted signs.

Next month I will continue with the next four houses and their meanings.

Hi,

My name is Eva (=life,isn't it?). I love your newsletters and I find them very interesting and very useful.

I'd like to ask you a favor! Please help me out if you have the time and the mood, of course. There is an Arabic part named "The most perilous year" (Astrolog software). What is it's significance? How do we use it in interpretation? I tried with the heavy transits but I'm not getting anywhere. To make a long story short: this Arabic part is in conj. with my natal Pars Fortuna and Mars at 10° Gemini. It IS a funny place to be if one looks for heavy transits (Saturn-Pluto,Nodes).

By the way, this node transit hit my natal S. node to! If you want to see the whole thing clearer my data is: May 8 1955, 8:10PM, Targu Mures, Romania (a post-kommy country! Ha).

One more question, if I may. My natal N.node is in exact conjunction with the Galactic Core on 26° Sag. Is this relevant in my little life? And how?

I hope I didn't disturbe you very much. Thank you very much for your precious time!

With respect, Eva

=======>Thank you Eva for your questions. Well, I have a bit of experience with the Part of Peril (most dangerous year). First let me state that ANY Arabic Part must be aspected by progression to the part or basically by an eclipse. The progression, when triggered by a transit is the most dangerous of all. What aspects it makes in your natal chart are of no real concern. You must remember this is a part in space, quite unlike a planet to be dealt with. I would not advise trying to include this part in your interpretations **unless** it is the same degree as the Ascendant or M.C.

I wrote an ebook, which is downloadable from my website called Murder.zip. This man had this Part of Peril in the same degree as his Ascendant. He was murdered by his third wife and it was aspected at the time. I noticed it when I did his chart, but not looking for anything detrimental, and not really that smart with the parts, didn't do anything with it. This is what made me write the ebook. I saw it and researched it because of his death. You must remember that one aspect does not activate a part . You must always go with the three aspects (to back yourself up) and not put your foot in your mouth :-) ~ just remember **if** you find it badly aspected by progressions and transits, depending on what planet is aspecting it, you would want to warn the client of a possible accident, etc. Just be very careful not to plant the negative vibration ~ *thoughts are things* and have a way of coming to fruition.

Regarding your inquiry regarding Galactic Core at 26°Sagittarius, on your North Node perhaps we can both get some input on this one. My second house cusp is 25°55 Sagittarius and I have always wondered myself if it meant something good financially. Since it has your North Node there, which is a Jupiter influence, maybe we're both in luck. Comments anyone???

I had a discussion with one of my friends about the Part of Fortune and she was not too sure she had really ever seen her's work. It doesn't always work the way we would like it to work, but it does work. Follows some information on a very lucky man and just how and when his worked. . .enjoy!

Have you ever considered what the Part of Fortune represents in your Natal chart? Is it money? Is it material assets? Is it where you shine? The answer to all of the foregoing - in one very important word - "Yes". This story represents a young man in search of what he wants out of life. Ronnie (Figure 1) got his job with one of Astrology's classic Mercury-Moon aspects. When you are looking for a job and Mercury transits your Moon, you are in most instances "hired". In this case, Mercury was "stationary Direct" at 25°Taurus on his Moon the day he applied for the job.

Notice the Solar Eclipse around his chart with his Progression for the Eclipse date. His Part of Profession was conjuncted by his progressed Moon indicating he was about to embark on a career. As far as he was concerned it appeared to be just an ordinary job.

Let us digress a bit, back to November 3, 1975 - just six months before he took this job, a Solar Eclipse at 10 Scorpio (Figure 1) hit his Part of Luck. At this time, his Progressed Moon was at 23°Aries, conjuncting his Part of Profession. This was indeed a lucky Eclipse - transit Jupiter was conjunct Ronnie's Progressed Venus in the eighth house of other people's money

The companion Lunar Eclipse two weeks later at 26°Taurus conjuncted his Midheaven, Natal Moon and trined his Part of Increase and his Progressed Ascendant (Figure 2). He was glad to get the job as his previous employment had ended and he was desperately seeking a job, any job, to pay his bills and feed his family.

So, there was an ordinary job just around the corner, waiting for Ronnie to find it. On June 23, 1976 Ronnie found his Profession (Figure 3). He worked diligently for nine years on his ordinary job...and, it was just that, an everyday job, with the normal pay raises, vacations, etc. Nothing spectacular or out of the ordinary occurred until... his Natal Part of Fortune was conjuncted on November 22, 1984 by a Solar Eclipse at 1 Sagittarius It also conjuncted his Progressed Part of Finances. Transit Mercury was conjunct his Progressed Part of Luck. The scene was set.

Little things began to happen with Ronnie. He felt he was finally recognized for a job well done. Conditions seemed better, although he could not actually put his finger on it. Six months passed since the Solar Eclipse had activated his Part of Fortune. LOOK OUT! Here comes LADY LUCK...

A Lunar Eclipse fell on his Progressed Part of Friends on May 4, 1985 at 14°Scorpio in his Progressed second House. The events indicate that the eclipse must have activated his rich friends. Nine days later his Boss gave him a $21,000 boat as a bonus.

Looking at the transit for that morning (Figure 4), we find the Moon conjunct Ronnie's Progressed Mercury. The Messenger of the Gods was about to give him a message that would change his life. A $21,000 yacht was a great way to begin that change! See his Natal Mercury conjunct his Progressed Part of Hopes & Wishes.

Three days later a Solar Eclipse at 29°Taurus conjuncted his Natal Moon and Midheaven. It trined his Progressed Part of Increase. This was the first opposition to the Solar Eclipse that conjuncted his Part of Fortune. What a nice aspect!

Throughout the ensuing years, other various small bonuses were given to Ronnie. We will only touch on the more lavish ones.

On September 29, 1989 the New Moon at 7°Libra fell on Ronnie's progressed Ascendant (Figure 6) and the Full Moon at 21° Aries on October 14th fell on his progressed Part of Fortune. The New Moon apparently highlighted the quality of Ronnie's work. According to "Degrees of The Zodiac Magnified", by Mohan Koparker, his Progressed Ascendant at the 6th degree of Libra indicates that the quality of work is admired by the boss. If we reflect back earlier in the year to the Solar Eclipse at 17°Pisces, you can see that it fell on his natal Mars and Mars rules one's working ability. See his Progressed Moon applying to trine the Natal Part of Increase? Ronnie's work was rewarded by a bonus of a brand new Lincoln! His Natal Part of Profession was also aspected by the Full Moon.

His progressed Equatorial Ascendant (or East Point, Equator) activated his Part of Long Journeys and Ronnie went to Wisconsin to work for several months on special assignment.

Ronnie loved the Christmas season in December, 1989. On November 28th, the New Moon at 6°Sagittarius (Figure 7), fell once again on his natal Part of Fortune. The Full Moon at 21°Gemini (Figure 8) of December 12th made a sextile to his Progressed Part of Profession and also sextiled his Progressed Part of Real Estate. It also squared his Part of Increase.

The Solar Eclipse at 8°Virgo (Figure 9), on August 31, 1989 trined his Progressed fourth House Cusp. A Christmas bonus was given to Ronnie - land to build on worth $20,000. Once again, the New Moon promised a new fortune and the Full Moon delivered the Real Estate. Transit Mars conjuncted his natal Part of Fortune (Figure 10) and his boss also gave Ronnie $10,600 worth of tools.

I have checked the Ephemeris to see if my Part of Fortune has been activated. I must have been at the right place, but at the wrong time. Have you ever seen anyone so lucky as Ronnie? There is no wonder that most of us pay little attention to the Part of Fortune. Well, now all of us should pay attention when it gets an aspect. If you are sitting at home in your living room and your Part of Fortune is aspected, nothing will happen. You have to do something to make it work. If you buy a Lottery Ticket, at the right time, you can sit in your Living Room and watch the Lottery drawing, and maybe win, but you did something!

One point worth mentioning, your Part of Spirit opposes your Part of Fortune ~ not exactly, but close enough. Remember, sometimes when your Part of Fortune is activated, so is your Part of Spirit. At times you may be playing a very spiritual role through this activation and not understand why. Think about it carefully. You are probably giving, through your Part of Fortune and Part of Spirit, comfort to someone in need of you at that particular moment. Fortune is not always a material thing!

The Arabic Parts work, but only if you work along with them. They are aspected every month - every one of them. The Moon travels the Zodiac every month. Usually the aspects come about by a Lunation or an Eclipse. There is usually always something set into motion by Progression. Do something to enhance the good aspects and definitely do something to deter the negative.

You will see charts set up by Eclipses and Progressions. Use caution. An inexperienced student would possibly jump to conclusions. Always check to see what the people involved are doing before you make your prediction. Are they helping their situation? If so, chances are you will see positive results. On the other hand, if a situation exists that is tentatively negative and no positive action is taken, advice can be offered to help improve matters.

Be sure to watch the Progressed Parts along with the natal placements. Some of them move along about a degree each month as they react to the Progressed Moon's movement. Just remember that many of the Arabic Parts are not configured with the Moon, so they will not move quite as quickly.
